Concubine

Chapter 182 The Surviving Little Girl
In addition to the chief envoy and the procuratorial envoy, the leaders at the provincial level also have the command envoy, who is in charge of the military affairs of the province.This army has little to do with Yang Qiuchi, Master Jin said that there is no need to visit for the time being, and we will talk about it when there is something to do in the future.

In addition, the Wuchang Mansion in Huguang also has a Jinyiwei Qianhu Office. Although the leader Qianhu is only a fifth rank, he has a special status, and even the chief envoy and the procuratorial envoy dare not underestimate it.However, the identity of the special envoy of Yang Qiuchi Jinyiwei Commander cannot be revealed unless it is absolutely necessary, so the thousand households will not visit.

After coming out of the yamen for punishment, Song Yun'er asked Yang Qiuchi where he should go next.

All the visits that should be visited are over, and the rest is to visit the local scenic spots, for business travel.

This is Yang Qiuchi's first visit to Wuchang, and he wants to have fun. Of course, the place he wants to go the most is the Yellow Crane Tower.But it's already afternoon, and I'm hungry, so I'll find something to eat first, and then go to the Yellow Crane Tower tomorrow.

When it comes to food, Yang Qiuchi remembered that there is a poem by the old man Mao, "I only drink Changsha water, and I eat Wuchang fish. Thousands of miles across the Yangtze River, I can see Chu Tianshu." When you come to Wuchang, you must eat this Wuchang fish. .

Wuchang fish has been famous since ancient times. According to the "Three Kingdoms" records: Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, wanted to move the capital from Jianye (the old city is in the south of Nanjing today) to Wuchang. Fish." Cen Shen, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, also had a famous line "When autumn comes, Wuchang fish is always remembered, and the dream soul is only in Balingdao".

Yang Qiuchi immediately said: "Let's find a restaurant near the river and eat Wuchang fish!" Everyone agreed.

Yang Qiuchi and others strolled to the edge of the Yangtze River, found a large restaurant, and went to the second floor of the elegant seat. From here, you can overlook the rolling Yangtze River in the distance.

Now hungry people are everywhere, and business is not easy to do. Seeing Yang Qiuchi and a group of people coming up, the shopkeeper of the restaurant was overjoyed and extremely enthusiastic.

Hearing that Yang Qiuchi wanted to eat Wuchang fish, the shopkeeper proudly boasted: "Guest officer, you have come to the right place. The Wuchang fish made by our restaurant is second to none in the entire Wuchang Prefecture. The fish is smooth, tender and refreshing. It smells delicious. Even if you eat it once, you will never forget it, and you want to come again. Now that there is a famine, business is not good. In previous years, the supply of Wuchang fish in our restaurant was in short supply, and you would not be able to eat it if you came late."

Yang Qiuchi twitched his index finger when he heard what he said, and kept urging the dishes to be served quickly.

After a while, the banquet will be served.The main course is steamed Wuchang fish.Of course, I also prepared a few delicate vegetarian dishes for Bai Sumei, and instructed to wash them in a special clean vegetarian frying pan. They were cooked by a special vegetarian chef, so that no meat would stick to them.

Yang Qiuchi called everyone to move their chopsticks, and started to gobble it up by himself.

Suddenly realizing that Song Yuner was leaning on the window rail without moving her chopsticks, Yang Qiuchi asked, "Yuner, why don't you eat?"

Song Yun'er pointed to the beggars and hungry people lying on both sides of the street downstairs, as well as those who were selling their sons and daughters with straw signs, sighed, and said: "Seeing them in such a miserable state, I really can't eat."

Yang Qiuchi was a little embarrassed, and ordered the shopkeeper of the restaurant to prepare a big pot of porridge for him to feed the hungry people downstairs.The shopkeeper repeatedly agreed, and kept praising Yang Qiu Chizhai for his kindness.Song Yun'er was overjoyed to see Yang Qiuchi understand her thoughts.

After a while, the porridge was ready. Hundreds of starving people on a street gathered around when they heard that the restaurant served porridge.

When Yang Qiuchi and the others finished eating, the porridge was also finished.There are still many hungry people who have not received it.

Yang Qiuchi looked apologetically at the hungry people downstairs looking up at him pitifully, and lamented that his ability was limited and he couldn't help so many people.

At this time, a little girl lying on the side of the street attracted Yang Qiuchi's attention. The little girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a thin face and fluffy and messy hair. She didn't move, the officers and soldiers on patrol walked by and kicked her to see if she was dead, and only then did she move with difficulty.

The place where the restaurant served the porridge just now was not far from her, but she obviously didn't receive the porridge, maybe she didn't even have the strength to get up.It seemed that the girl was dying and dying.

There were two middle-aged men and women lying next to the little girl. Since they were lying on the inside, the officers and soldiers on patrol did not kick them. However, from the strange postures in which they were lying, Yang Qiuchi could conclude that these two middle-aged men and women were probably already dead.

The middle-aged woman held a skinny little boy in her arms with one arm, and remained motionless. The other hand of the woman held the little girl's hand tightly.It seems that this is a family.

Before the mother died, she was still guarding her child. This kind of maternal love deeply shocked Yang Qiuchi, and he turned around and ran downstairs.

Everyone didn't know what he was going to do, Song Yun'er quickly got up and chased after him.Nan Gongxiong followed Yang Qiuchi downstairs with several guards and came to the street.

A street is full of hungry people everywhere.The cold wind was bitter, and the hungry people shivered.

Yang Qiuchi came to the little girl, grabbed her hand and shook it, feeling that her hand was cold.The little girl opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at Yang Qiuchi, then fell asleep again.

She was still alive, Yang Qiuchi shook the child in the middle-aged woman's arms again, but there was no response, he reached out and touched the child's carotid artery, there was no pulse, and neither could the middle-aged man and woman.

Yang Qiuchi opened their eyelids and squeezed their eyeballs with his hands.Seeing that their deformed pupils did not return to round shape, Yang Qiuchi's heart sank, and he moved their jaws with his hands, and could feel the rigors appearing, so it was confirmed that this middle-aged man and woman and their The little boy in his arms was already dead.

Song Yuner said sadly: "Brother, they are so pitiful, let's save them."

Yang Qiuchi had this in mind, and nodded: "Hurry up and take this little girl into the restaurant."

"What about her parents?" Song Yun'er asked.

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "They are already dead. The boy in his arms is also dead." Turning to Nan Gongxiong, he said, "Send someone to call the patrolling officers and soldiers to take their bodies and bury them."

It is estimated that there are so many hungry people now. There must be many people who died of starvation, disease, freezing, and execution for grabbing food. The government may also dig a mass grave and throw it in. The pile is almost full before filling it with soil. .

Song Yun'er didn't care about the filth on the little girl's body, she hugged the frail little girl in her arms, and walked quickly into the restaurant as light as nothing.

Returning to the private seat on the second floor, Yang Qiuchi ordered the shopkeeper to quickly bring a quilt, and asked Song Yun'er to take off the little girl's ragged coat, wear only a small underwear, and wrap it in a quilt.At the same time, he ordered the shopkeeper to boil porridge for the little girl.

After eating, the little girl regained some energy. She drank a bowl and signaled for more.Song Yuner wanted to add a bowl of rice for her to eat, but the little girl Yuechan hurriedly stopped her, saying that it would cause her to die of starvation. There used to be a famine in their village, and after some people received the relief food, they were so hungry that they hurriedly cooked it, but they died of starvation.So at the beginning, you can't eat too much at one time, especially if you can't eat too dry.

Song Yun'er had never rescued a hungry person. After hearing Yuechan's words and looking at the little girl's yearning eyes, she hesitated, not knowing what to do, and looked at Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi nodded: "Yuechan is right, take your time, rub her hands and feet first, let her drink some rice soup, wait for her stomach to recover slowly, then feed porridge, and then eat rice when she can move freely .”

After receiving Yang Qiuchi's instructions, Song Yun'er felt relieved, let the fire burn in the room, wrapped the quilt tightly, and then Song Yun'er and the little maid Yuechan kept rubbing the little girl's palms and feet.

After drinking a bowl of porridge, the little girl fell into a coma for a while, then woke up, saying that she was thirsty, and Yang Qiuchi ordered him to drink a small bowl of rice soup.

After a while, the little girl's eyes slowly regained consciousness, and she said in a weak voice, "Thank you sir, thank you miss—where are my parents? And my brother?"

Song Yuner rubbed her hands and said apologetically, "He's dead."

The little girl burst into tears.

The little girl Yuechan comforted softly: "Don't cry, you are already dead, what's the use of crying, now it's important to take care of your own body." While rubbing her cold feet, she continued: " Don't worry, our young master has a good heart and will definitely save your life."

The little girl wept and said: "More kindness to save my life, Aloe is very grateful."

"Aloe? Your name is Aloe?" Yang Qiuchi said.

The little girl nodded.

Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, why did he choose such a name, but it's no wonder, it's a rural area, and it's a girl, so it's fine to just choose anything with flowers and plants.Seeing that she was a little more energetic, he ordered her to drink a small bowl of porridge with some Wuchang fish meat that had been removed.

After working like this for more than half an hour, Aloe's hands and feet gradually warmed up.After drinking porridge mixed with Wuchang fish, I also feel refreshed.Yang Qiuchi asked Yuechan to go to the street to help Aloe buy some winter clothes for Aloe to wear.

Yang Qiuchi asked: "Aloe, where is your hometown?"

"It's from Sankeliu Village, De'an Prefecture, Huguang."

"De'an Mansion?" Yang Qiuchi had no memory, and didn't know where this De'an Mansion was.I looked at Master Jin.

Master Jin said: "De'an Mansion is in the northwest of Wuchang, hundreds of miles away."
